Answer :- Lissencephaly. The word lissencephaly is derived from the Greek "lissos" meaning smooth and "encephalos" meaning brain. The human brain normally has a convoluted surface. In Lissencephaly these convolutions are completely or partially absent from the brain, or areas of it, have a smooth appearance. Lissencephaly may occur due to genetic syndromes. Congenital infections or vascular insults in the pregnancy. All children with Lissencephaly suffer from mental retardation and may have seizures.

Answer :- Schinzel-Giedion Syndrome (SGS). The principal symptoms are coarse facies characterised by midface retraction, bulging forehead, facial hemangiomas, short nose with anteverted nostrils, malformed ears, protruding large tongue, and hypertelorism. Skeletal defects include open cranial sutures, steep short skull, wide occipital synchondrosis, multiple wormian bones, hypoplastic ribs, and broad ribs; limb defects consist of postaxial polydactyly, clubfoot, mesomelic brachymelia, and hypoplasia of distal phalanges. Choanal stenosis, redundant neck skin, hypoplastic nipples, strial septal defects, hypoplastic dermal ridges, simian creases, hyper convex nails, hypospadias, microphallus, hypertrichosis, and seizures are frequently associated. The affected patients usually die in infancy. Probably a single gene autosomal recessive disorder.

Answer :- Unilateral complete cleft lip with Cleft Palate. Cleft means 'split' or 'separation'. During early pregnancy separate areas of the face develop individually and then join together. If some parts do not join properly the result is a cleft, the type and severity of which can vary. Cleft may cause problems with feeding, ear disease, speech and socialization. A cleft lip is usually surgically repaired by the time a baby is 2-3 months old. The palate is usually repaired by the time a baby is a year old.

Answer :- Amniotic band sequence. Amniotic Band Syndrome is a set of congenital birth defects believed to be caused by entrapment of fetal parts (usually a limb or digits) in fibrous amniotic bands while in utero. There are several features that are relatively consistent: syndactyly (webbed digits), distal ring constrictions, deformity of the nails, stunted growth of the small bones in the digits, limb length discrepancy, distal lymphedema (swelling), and congenital band indentations.

Answer :- Beau’s lines. Beau's lines are deep grooved lines that run from side to side on the fingernail. They may look like indentations or ridges in the nail plate. This may be caused by an infection or problem in the nail fold, where the nail begins to form or it may be caused by an injury to that area. Some other reasons for these lines include: trauma, coronary occlusion, hypocalcaemia, diabetes, chemotherapy drugs or even malnutrition.

Answer :- Bronchogenic cyst. Bronchogenic cysts are lesions of congenital origin derived from the primitive foregut and are the most common primary cysts of the mediastinum. Most frequently unilocular, they contain clear fluid or, less commonly, hemorrhagic secretions or air. CT of bronchogenic cysts typically shows sharply marginated mediastinal masses of soft-tissue or water attenuation. Most appear cystic. A minority appear solid. Although some bronchogenic cysts are asymptomatic and are incidental findings upon radiography, most cysts are symptomatic—and complications are more common in symptomatic patients. The most frequent symptoms are cough, fever, pain, and dyspnea. Tracheobronchial compression and pulmonary infections can occur in children because of the relatively soft tracheobronchial tree. Treatment consists of complete extirpation, with ligation of the point of attachment to the patent bronchus.
